They don't come tougher than Hugo Toovey. At just 27 he's endured more suffering than most will in their lifetime. He put his budding career as an army officer on hold to battle testicular cancer and won, only to be struck down by bowel cancer 5 years later. But despite all that, he's still standing and he's not one to complain or see the glass half empty. Instead he's deadset on doing everything in his power to help other young men take responsibility for their health before it's too late. He does this in a big way as co-host of his own podcast '25 Stay Alive' which is also worth your time. Hugo made time for this conversation, despite preparing for yet another major surgery, in the hope that it'll encourage others to go to the doctor if they think something isn't right. That's the kind of man he is. Hugo is one of the most inspirational people I've had the pleasure of speaking to. But he's humble and wouldn't want to be thought of as anything more than a guy trying to get what he can out of life and make a difference. He will fire you up to make the most of what you’ve got and not take your health for granted.
